In respect to do much Of the resolution

have only to say that I have exercised
this po'wer'under the provisilcdp of the
first section of the act of February 13,
179 which so far as applicable to vacan
cie -caused by removals I understand to
be': till in forde. The legislation upon the
,oitiject of Cid i ',aerial alopointments in the
E xtcutive Departments stands as to the
NIT4r office as follows : •
•The second section of the act of the 7th
Of Avast, 1789, makes provisions for a
vacancy in the very ease of a removal of
the head of the War Department, and up
on such a vacancy, gires the charge and
custody of the records, books and papers
-to the Chief cleerk. Next, by - the act of
the 'Bth of May, 1792, , Section 8, it is pro- .
lid d that iu case of 'vacancy occasioned
by — eith„ absence fiont like seat of gov
...in ' eiit, or - Sickness of the head of the;
1 1
warllpartment, the President may au-
thottize a person to perform the duties of
the 'office until a successor is appointed, or
tae disability removed. The act, it will
be rObserved, does not provide for the
case of a vacancy caused by removal.
Then, by the first section of the act of
Faruary 13, 1735, it is provided that in
ant , ~c..se of vacancy the President may
appint a person to peform the duties
;.,
wbi t! the vacancy exists. These acts are
I...aiwed by that of the 20th of February,
1.5133, by the first 'section of which provis
len is again made for a vacancy caused by
de:lth, resignation ; absence from the seat
of ~ ivernment, or sickness of the head of
;iv executive. department of the govern
i n en ,; and, upon the occurrence of such a
:I.!files, power is given to the President
to altthorize. the head of any other execu

of said departments whose appointment is
vested in the President at his discretion,

tainly Owe is no express repeal by the
-act of 1863 of the act of • 1795. The re
peal, if there is any; is by implication, and
can only be admitted so far as there is a
clear incoOsistency between the two acts.
The act 0f1795 is inconsistent, with that
'of 1953, as the vacancy occasioned by
death, resignation,absence or sickness, but,
'not at all inconsistent as to a vacancy
caused by a removal. It is assuredly
proper that the President should have
the same power to fill temporarily a va
wag caused by a removal, as he has to
supply a place made vacant by death or
expiratioti'of a term.
If, for instance, the ince:lll:writ of an of
fice should be found to be wholly unfit, to
exoercise its functions, and the public ser
vice should require his immediate expul
sion, a remedy should exist and be at once
applied, and time be allowed the President
to Select and appoint a successor, as is per
mitted hint in case of a vacancy by death
or the termination of an official term.—
The necessity, therefore, for an ad interim
appointment is just as great, and, indeed,
may be greater in cases of removal, than
in any others. Before it be held, therefore,
that the power given by the act of 1795
iu cases ,Of removal is abrogated by suc
ceeding legislation,an express repeal ought
to appear.
So wholesale a power should certainly
not be taken away by Icose implication.—
It may be, however, that iu this as in oth
er cases of implied repeal, doubt may
arise. It is confessedly one of the most
snbtile and debatable questions which
arise in the construction of statutes. If
upon such a question I have fallen into an
erroneous construction, I submit whether
it, should be characterized as a violation of
official duty and of law. I have deemed it
proper, in vindication of the course which
I have considered it my duty 0- take, to
place before the Senate the reasons upon
which I have based my actions.
Although I have been advised by every
member of my Cabinet that the entire
tenure of office act is unconstitutional, and
therefore void, and although I have ex
pressly concurred in that opinion in the
veto message which I had the honor to
submit to. Congress when I returned the
bill for reconsideration, I have refrained
from making a removal of any officer con
trary to tine pt °visions of the law,and have
only exercised that power in the case of
Mr. Stanton, which, in my judgment, did
not come within its provisions. I have en
deavored to proceed with the greatest cir
cumspection, and have acted only in an
extreme and exceptional case.
Carefully following the course which I
have marked out for myself, as a general
rule, faithfully to execute all laws, though
passed over my objections, of the score of
constitutionality, in the present. instance I
have appealed, or sought to appeal, to that
final arbiter fixed by the Constitution for
the determination of all such questions.--
To this course I have been impelled by
••• • ••• •• • • Eirrhylliidi; whatever
may be the consequences merely personal
to myself. I could not allow them to
prevail against a public duty so clear to
my own mind, and so imperative, if that
which was possible had been certain.
If I had been fully advised when I re
moved Mr. Stanton that in thus defending
the trust committed to my hands my own
removal was sure to follow, I could not
have hesitated. Actuated by public con
siderations of the highest character, I
earnestly protest against the resolution of
the Senate which charges me in what I
have done with a violation of the Consti
tution and laws of the United States.

More than two million Democrats enter
the Presidential contest, to win back Dem

We have no responsibilities or baggage

National Convention
The Democratic National Committee,
voted on the 22d of February to assemble
the National Democratic Convection in
the city of New York, on the 4th of Inly,
a good day for the Committee to act, and
a good day for the Convention to meet.
'The month of Mareh,lBBB, will ex
hibit two wonderful events—the trial of
Jefferson Davis for 'insisting that the
Southern States were out of the Union,
and the trial of Andrew Johnson for insis
ting that they are in the Union.
Secession and Impeachment.
One leading daily paper in New York—
the Tribune—advocated Secession ; one
now advises impeachment—and it is the
Tribune. Put that and this together.

Affairs at Washington.
The Radical conspirators at Washing
ton seem to be rushing into open revolu
tion. Since our last issue affairs have pro.
gressed as follows :
On Saturday, Feb 22d, Thad Steven's
made report from the reconstruction com
mittee that the President had propotied to
remove Stanton, and that he theretoie be
impeached for high crimes and ' misde
meanors. The day was spent in discuss
ion of the mad project. Repeated efforts
were made by Democrats' fo have Wash
ington's Farewell Address read, but the
Radicals would not allow it. As they
have entered uport,the overthrow of the
government, the.repudiation of the admo
nition of the Father of the Country on
that day tarp A . consistent act.
The Senate was adjourned by the Radi
cal members to go into party caucus to
_deVise plans for their revolutionary con
duct.
Stanton obtained a warrant from Judge
Cartter of the District Court for the ar•
rest of Adjutant General Thomas, on the
charge of accepting appointment to act as
Secretary of War, ad interim. Bail was
given in $5,000.
On Monday the President sent a mea
? the Senate 7erglish n „ a i A ctenroieswith.
out, reasonable cause.
In the House the discussion of the im
peachment question was resumed'. The
resolution hereunder was finally adopted
by a party vole, 126 to 47 :
Resolved, That Andrew Johnson, Presi
dent of the United Stet es;.be impeached
of high crimes and misdemeanors.
it was voted thot a committee of two
be appointed to inform the Senate of the
action of the House, and also a commit
tee of seven to prepare articles of im
peachment.
The Speaker selected these committees
as hereunder:
First—Thad Stevens, of Pa. and Bout
well of Mass.
Second—Boutwell of Mass., Stevens of
Pa., Bingham of Ohio, Logan of Illinois,
Julian of Indiana; and Ward of N. Y., all
of whom are Radicals.
The President on Monday nominated to
the Senate Thomas Ewing, of Ohio, to be
Secretary of War, in place of Edwin M.
Stanton, removed. Referred to the mili
tary committee.
On Tuesday, Stevens and Boutwell en
tered the Senate, and the former said :
" Mr President—ln obedience to the or
der of the House of Representatives, we
have appeared, before you; and in the
name of the House of Representatives and
of all the people of the United States, we
do impeach Andrew Johnson, President
of the United States, of high crimes and
misdemeanors in office. And we further
inform the Senate that the House of Rep
resentatives will, in due time, exhibit par
ticular articles of impeachment against
him, and make good the same. And in
their name we demand that the Senate
take due order for the appearance of the
said Andrew Jenson to answers to the
said impeachment.
The President pro tem.—The Senate will
take order in the premises."
The subject was referred to a commit
tee of seven—Messrs. Howard, Trumbull,
Conkling, Edmunds, Morton, Pomeroy
and Johnson.
• Senate passed thereupplementary recon.
atruetion bill.
In the House a series of gag rules were
adopted, by which the articles of impeach
ment are to be disposed of and sent to the
Senate in one day after presentation.
On Wednesday it became apparent that
the Radicals had discovered that the at
tempted prosecution of General Thomas
and impeacbmeat of the President were
without legal grounds, and they suddenly
changed their tactics by abandoning their
proiecntion, and setting the General at
liberty. Re had asked for 3 Wr:t of ha
!
. _
bese corps, and they dared not risk the
questicid of the constitutionality of the ten
ure actor its alleged violation, before
Came!, their,partiaan judge, who is evi
dentlyl a conspirator. The movement
seems, to be -an attempt to rush into im
peaohreent and revolUtion on party
grounds, by a party vote, without submit
ting any law question to the courts.
In the - Senate the committee of seven,
to, whom bad been referred the message
of the Rouse on the subject. of impeach
ment, made a report, " That the Senate
will.take the proper order thereon, of
which due notice will be given to the
House of Representatives." The Judici
ary Committee reported the bill depriv
ing the United States courts of jurisdic
tion in , all oases arising out of the recon
structibn acts.
In the House the Senate substitute for
the supplementary reconstruction bill was
concurred in.
Ou Thursday the Speaker informed the
House;of the existence of another Guy
Fawkes plot, just discovered by the inde
fatigable Kennedy, of the New York po
lice. The wonderful discovery proved to
be that somebody had stolen 165 lbs. of
nitro glycerine in New York. The saga
cious police superintendent could imagine
no other use for the thieves to put it to
than to blow up Congress with it. The
intention no doubt is to use this sensation
story to inflame the passions of the Re
publican masses, and thus blind them to
the revolutionary schemes of their party
leaders.
General Thomas brought suit against
Stanton for false arrest, &c., claiming
damages to the amount of 81.50,000.
The House impeachment committee
have had several long sessions in refer
ence to the vile work in their hand 9. They
divide their time between trying to in
vent a series of charges against the Presi
dent, upon which they can unite a party
vote, and discussing the experiment of de
posing the President, seizing control of
the government and then trying larn af
terward. The committee agree to report
to the House on Sato 7 lay, so that the
matter can go to the Senate on Monday
(March 2d) for trial. The Radical con
spirators evidently feel that they are en
gaged in unjustifiable revolution, hence
their indecent haste to complete the
overt act before the people have time-to
comprehend or be heard on the subject."
micnigan, Illinois, and oth
er parties, indicate that the Radicals are
in a state of incipient rebellion, and look
to Congress for the commission of an act
of Mexican anarchy.
The severest test of free government is
about to be tried, and the people who
would not see the Republic blotted out,
must nerve themselves for any contingen
cy, stand by the government and laws,
and defeat all revolutionary proceedings.
The final remedy for present and im
pending evils, in any event, be the
election of a Democratic President and
Congress a few months hence, which will
end the work of evil doers and dei;pots,
and restore union, harmony and prosperi
ty to the country. To these s ends let all
good citizens unite their efforts for the
common good.
On Friday the Senate committee re
ported a long series of rules to govern im
peachment trials. Several newspaper wri
ters report what they allege to be the sub
stance of from five to eight articles of im
peachment. They agree upon the gener
al allegation that the President does not
want Stanton in his cabinet; but as to
the balance of the malicious verbiage of
which they will consist, no two agree.
Senator McCreery, of Kentucky, was
admitted to his seat.
—The latest up to Monday afternoon,
shows that Stanton remains in quiet pos
session of the War Office, and does not
leave it day or night. General Thomas
has done nothing but respectfully ask for
possession. And this is the foundation of
a rebellion ! Would it not be wellfor sen
sible men to consider the end before they
plunge into it ?
Pensylvania Legislature.
This body, or the radical majority, has
become excited over the subject of im•
peachment, and resolved in favor of it,
although they well know that an immense
majority of the people do not endorse it.
An amendment closing as follows was
rejected by the radical majority :
" That it is the duty of the executive
and legislative brancheP the govern
ment, and of all good citizens to enforce,
respect and-obey the decision of the Su
preme Court of the United States upon
the question of the constitutionality of the
said Tenure of Office law, when it is an
nounced by the said court."

EtCOSV,
Judge Woodward on Impeachment.
On Monday the 24th Judge Wood ward
obtained the floor, refusing to yield it for
a few minutes to Mr. "Virashburne to con-
clude his remarks, because of the slanders
uttered by him against the President, and
proceeded to address the House against
impeachment.
He argued that the resolution of im
peachment was a mistake, and that an im
peachment of the President on the idea
that Secretary Stanton was within the
protection of the Tenure of Office bill,
was what Fonche, the chief of the old
French police would have called worse
than a crime—a blunder. Whatever ex
ecutive power the Federal Government
possessed was vested in the President,
who was made the sole trustee of the
people in that regard. In the matter of
appointments to office and the treaty ma
king function, a check was imposed upon
the President, but even in those instan
ces the power exercised was the Presi
dent's. The concurrence of the Senate
was only a regulation for the exercise of
the power. It was a mere advisory dis
cretion, not an executive power.
The separateness and completeness of
this executive power in the hands of the
President was a doctrine essential to the
harmony oftho system of government and
to the responsibility of the President to
the people. If Congress meddle with it,
Congress became a trespasser and its act
an impertinent nullity, and the President
was not to be impeached for disregarding
it.
He quoted extracts from the debate in
the First Congress upon the Executive
Department, and argued that that debate
settled this question absolutely, and dem
onstrated the utter unconstitutionality of
the act of March 2, 1867. He also argued
that by the very terms of that. act itself
Mr. Stanton did not come within its scope
and quoted Senator Sherman and Messrs.
Spalding and Bingham as taking the same
view of the law when it was under con
sideration.
Mr. Johnson was a man of the Republi
can party's own choosing, and he verily
believed that the President was trying to
restore the Union, to pacify the country,
and to administer his high office with a
faithful regard to the obli!rations of the
Constitution and the best interests of the
people. Ile seemed a true friend to the
whole country, a faithful public officer, and
entitled to Cabinet advisers who were his
friends and not his enemies. Congress
had far better sustain such a man in his
constitutional rights, and address itself to
the relief of the suffering country, than to
waste its time and the poeple's money in
impeaching a faithful public servant on
charges that, are both false and foolish.—
At the risk of denunciation i he (Mr. Wood
ward) denied the right of the Senate to
try impeachment.
The House was not composed, as_ the
Gy "re people or frie - everil . States. Nor
was the Senate of two Senators from each
State. In conclusion he said : Mr. Speak
er, so sure am I that the Arnericam poe
ple would respect this objection, that if I
were the President's counsellor, I would
advise him that if you prepare articlt s of
impeachment, to demur both to your ju
risdiction and that the Senate, and to iss
ue a proclamation giving you and all the
world notice that while he held himself
impeachable for misdeanors in office, be
fore the constitutional tribunal, he never
would subject the office he holds in trust
for the people to the irregular, unconsti
tutional, fragmentary bodies who propose
to strip him for it. Such a proclamation,
with the army and navy in his hands to
sustain it, would meet a I °pular response
that would make an end of impeachment
and impeachers.
Florida.
TALLAHASSEE, Feb. 19
The Convention to day, by a vote of
twenty five to seventeen, declared Billings,
Saunders, Pearce, and Richardson inelli
gible, and their seats vacant. Billings, by
permission, defended his eligibility in a
short speech. Excitement ran high, and
Billings declared his ability to control the
negro vote. The lobby was crowded by
whites and blacks, who manifested but
little interest for the overthrown dele
gates.
After the adjournment a colored dele
gate was attacked by outside negroes,
supporters of the Billings party, and struck
for voting against the expelled members.
One of the assaulting party was shot in
the hip by one of the delegates, when the
difficulty was stopped and the parties ar
rested by the police. This is the second
time this delegate has been attacked.
General Meade and Staff left for Atlanta
this morning. It is now probable that
the work for which the Convention Was
called will be consummated.
